Chapter 397
Evelyn spoke sternly, "So many years have gone by, and our family has done a lot for an outsider like you."She examined Donna closely one last time. "I've said what I needed to say," she declared firmly. Then, she told Marta, "Show our guest out." Her voice was strong, and her eyes showed nothing but cold indifference and dislike for Donna.Evelyn really held a deep grudge against Donna. If it weren't for Donna, Ethan wouldn't have had such a tough time in school or made bad choices.Marta said, "Sure, Madam," and turned to Donna. "Ms. Jolie, please come with me."Donna, full of frustration, yelled at Evelyn, "Aren't you worried I'll tell him all of this? If it weren't for you, Ethan and I wouldn't be in this mess."Evelyn sneered, "Five years ago, I didn't let you step foot in my home. Nothing has changed now. I won't let you keep hurting my grandson."Donna was shown out of the Arnold house. Her proud attitude had crumbled, leaving her looking like someone who had lost everyth

"Boring, not interested," someone said.Another student chimed in, "If I enter showbiz, my dad would literally flip.""Isn't acting and singing all about entertaining others?" said another student.Hailey raised an eyebrow and glanced at the director next to her.The director, hunched and smiling, replied, "I know all of you come from well-off families. I'm just here to see if any of you are interested. No one's being forced into anything."When he spotted Madelyn sitting by the window, his eyes lit up. "You must be Madelyn Jent?"Madelyn paused, laying down her pen, looking puzzled. "Sir, do you know my name?"The director approached her eagerly. "How could I not? Ethan Arnold is backing this new film. If you're interested, I can cast you as the female lead. We can even tweak the script to your liking."Madelyn declined politely, "I'm sorry, but I'm not into acting. You should find someone else. Excuse me, I need to visit Mr. Newton's office for help with some math problems."

Lem turned to Madelyn and asked, "Hey, Madelyn, I'm stuck on a problem here. Can you give me a hand?"Madelyn glanced at him and shook her head. "I'm stuck too. Why don't you ask Kennedy? He's ranked first in the whole grade."Lem put on a pitiful expression. "He won't help me.""But I'm not sure how to solve it either!" Madelyn then turned to Kennedy, inquiring, "Kennedy, have you figured out this problem? Could you teach us?"Kennedy retrieved a workbook from his backpack. "Take a look at this. If you don't get it, feel free to ask."Madelyn glanced at Kennedy and then at that workbook. After she took it, she was instantly shocked when flipping through it. "Y-You've completed all of these? When did you finish them? How did you do it so fast?"Lem grumbled, "This freak must have finished them in less than a week after Mr. Newton assigned them."Madelyn wondered to herself, 'Is this the superpower of a legendary genius? Does he possess some sort of divine blessing?'In her purs

Madelyn looked at Forrest with a weary expression. She didn't know what to say to him. In the end, she simply said, "Pack up your things. Don't come here again."After saying that, she went back to her room. She found her room relatively clean, with no dust, as if someone had cleaned it.Without thinking much, she locked the door, dropped her backpack, and, without even changing her clothes, she lay on the bed under a blanket.Outside the room, Forrest and Kayla seemed to have an argument. Madelyn had a headache and didn't want to get involved. She tried hard not to dwell on it. After a while, she fell into a restless sleep.Around one o'clock in the early morning, the sound of brakes shattered the silence of the night, and Ethan got out of the car. He saw that the living room lights in the mansion were still on.Exhausted, Ethan walked into the hallway. A servant noticed him and asked in confusion, "Sir, isn't Miss Jent with you?"Ethan furrowed his brow. "She didn't come back?"

Madelyn still did not know that Ethan was extremely worried and was looking for her everywhere in Ventropolis.The first ray of morning light shone in from the window. Street vendors had already started their businesses in the street of the quiet old building. The scent of food could be smelled from a nearby location.The quietness in the residential area was broken by several luxurious black cars that came and stopped there.George said, "Ms. Jent stayed here when she left her home. I think she's probably here now."Ethan had not slept the entire night. He desperately got out of the car and tightly frowned as he looked around at the extremely poor housing condition. He thought, 'How can she stay here?!'This staircase is full of dust. And I can feel that this building is extremely unstable. This kind of housing should already be considered a dangerous building. Yet, there are still people living here.'Madelyn came out of the bathroom and dried her hair. She then removed the sof

Leyton and George had already left when Madelyn returned after taking the call. Now, only Ethan and Madelyn were in the tiny apartment.Ethan noticed Madelyn's expression was not great. So, he asked, "What's wrong?"Madelyn evasively replied, "My father asked about what happened last night. It's fine."Actually, she had been scolded by Hayson. Everyone would look unhappy after being scolded.Madelyn continued, "Anyway, I've made some pancakes. Do you want to eat some? It's still very early now. You can take a nap after you eat."Ethan affectionately looked at her as he said, "Okay."After they had their breakfast, Madelyn brought Ethan to her bedroom.The room was clean and tidy. There was even a huge doll on the bed that was very eye-catching.Madelyn made the bed for him and said, "It isn't as comfortable as your home, and the condition here is quite poor. Please bear with it."Ethan asked, "What'll you do when I nap?"Madelyn answered, "I still have two hours of free time.
Chapter 403
As soon as Madelyn arrived at the school, many classmates greeted her. Even Mya asked her about what happened last night. She did not expect that just because she had not gone home for the night, many people would know about it.Other than Mya, many people that Madelyn had never interacted with before pretended to be concerned and asked if she was fine.The Math Olympiad competition was around the corner. Madelyn did not want to dwell on certain matters. She just wanted to focus on her own matters.In the SereneCare Hospital, Donna was eating fruits as she repeatedly made phone calls. She pondered, 'I know Ethan doesn't always mean what he says. It appears that he doesn't care about me. But deep down, he still cares.'He merely used the Madelyn girl to make me angry. Or else, he wouldn't have stayed here until so late last night. If the first time doesn't count, what about the second time?'Is it so difficult for him to admit he still has feelings for me? I won't lose the three-ye

Ethan glanced at his phone before declining the call without hesitation. He then blocked the number. He coldly said, "Just ignore any matter regarding her from now on."Leyton nodded, "Got it." He thought, 'That's right. Ms. Jent is so much better than Donna.'Donna made countless phone calls. She was sure that Ethan had blocked her number. However, she still believed that he would come to her if something happened to her.Donna thought about something and called a nurse over. She handed her a phone number and said, "Do as I say."The nurse stared at Donna. After she dialed the number, the call was disconnected within half a minute. She said, "The phone number doesn't exist.""Impossible!" Donna stomped her foot. She then pressed the number on her phone and checked it before dialing it again. She could hear, "The number you've dialed doesn't exist. Please verify the number and try again."Donna cursed, "Damn it!" She then quickly dialed another number in her phone contact. It was
